Hi Cathy,

It's been a while since I played it, but it's not that hard compared to 
say Dungeon Master.

I think you wasted your potion.  There is probably a secret button around 
somewhere that you will need to press.  Look on the walls nearby for any 
differences to the other walls, these can be quite slight.  When you find 
one, press it.

There will be another key around somewhere, it sounds like you may have 
missed a fair bit of that level.  It helps a lot to map as you go, if you 
aren't already.
  
FYI, I did EOTB in about 35 hours, it took over 100 to do Dungeon Master, 
and I have spent at least 150 on Dungeon Master 2 and still havent 
finnished it!
